UPDATE: A bombshell biography reveals that Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly referred to Winona Ryder as “Vagina Ryder” during a fallout in the 1990s. This shocking detail comes from Amy Odell’s new book, “Gwyneth,” which sheds light on their tumultuous friendship and the drama that unfolded following Paltrow’s breakup with Brad Pitt.
The revelation has stirred public interest as it highlights the long-standing tension between the two Hollywood stars. According to Daily Mail, Paltrow, now 52, believed Ryder, now 53, was fabricating stories for attention, particularly concerning a robbery incident while Ryder was dating Matt Damon. Paltrow’s disdain grew as she felt Damon was too sympathetic toward Ryder, leading to an escalating rift.
Odell’s biography details a specific incident where Ryder informed Damon about being robbed, a claim Paltrow and her then-boyfriend, Ben Affleck, found dubious. “Damon consoled her, but Gwyneth and Affleck believed Ryder fabricated the robberies as a ploy for attention,” Odell writes. The fallout reportedly worsened, culminating in Paltrow’s derogatory nickname for Ryder.
The book also alleges that Paltrow secured the lead role in the Oscar-winning film “Shakespeare in Love” after initially turning it down, a move that supposedly stemmed from a rumor that she had taken the script from Ryder’s coffee table. Paltrow responded to the controversy by asserting that Ryder was behind the rumor, claiming she received the script through her agent.
While neither actress has publicly addressed their feud, Paltrow previously hinted at a “frenemy” in a 2009 blog post. She expressed feelings of anger and betrayal, stating, “I was deeply upset… when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous.”
As the book gains traction, fans are eager to see how this revelation will impact the public’s perception of both actresses. Paltrow’s and Ryder’s representatives have not yet provided comments on these explosive claims.
